Dallas Cowboys:
Why this team will win the Super Bowl: They have been the #1 seed in the NFC from Week 1 until Week 17. The Cowboys are great at home. They are 3-0 against the Giants and Packers this season. They played the Patriots in the regular season and will be able to make adjustments from that loss. This team has a fantastic offense. It has a great young QB in Tony Romo. It has all the pieces necessary to compete for a title. While they didn’t play well in the last 4 games, they didn’t have a lot to play for. Once they are healthy and the games matter they should be able to turn the switch back on.
Why this team will not make the Super Bowl: The Cowboys have allowed over 300 points which is not a good recipe for winning the Super Bowl. Since 1990 the only team to win a Super Bowl and give up more than 300 points was the 2006 Indianapolis Colts. Plus the Cowboys aren’t getting Bob Sanders back for the playoffs. The 2006 Colts led the league in touchdown passes, Manning had only 9 interceptions, and they had a plus 7 giveaway to takeaway ratio. The Cowboys have more TD passes than the Colts last season, Romo has 19 interceptions, and the Cowboys are about even in giveaways to takeaways. While the Cowboys can score in bunches they can give points up in bunches too. That could be disaster against the Packers or the Seahawks two teams whose strength is passing the football and forcing turnovers.
